Doctor is abbreviated to Dr. when used as a title in conjunction with the person's name, but not when addressing the person by title only or when using doctor merely as a noun, not a title. For example: * Dr. Smith * Dr. and Mrs. John Smith * How are you, Doctor? * Margaret is a doctor too.
"Quack" can be used as a noun to refer to the sound a duck makes or as a term to describe someone pretending to be a medical professional. For example, "The duck let out a loud quack" versus "It's dangerous to trust your health to a quack doctor."
